The Funniest Tweets of the Week

This was just a big ol’ zero of a week, huh? No big news, no important events, no surprises in the world today… just a normal old week, with a Super Bowl, and an impeachment acquittal, and a State of the Union address, and a rapidly spreading virus, and a Ray Donovan cancellation, and an Iowa caucus that went off as smoothly as the Hindenburg. Super boring, and not a lot to joke about. It was a little hard scraping together enough worthwhile tweets this week, simply because it was such a dead zone for anything important or interesting happening, but I’m a pro, and I persevere. Check out the tweets below while you reflect on the end of this very slow, very forgettable week.

A friendly reminder that even fucking Serpentor allowed witnesses at Cobra Commander’s trial. Cobra Command has more ethics than the US Senate.

Toy Story, but it’s all the things in my apartment that girls have left behind over the years (bobby pins, jewelry, hair ties, a vape pen, and one sassy thong voiced by Tiffany Haddish) working together to get me to hook-up with their owners one last time so they can return home.
